Former President Trump’s absence in recent media coverage has not gone unnoticed, as speculation swirls about his potential vice presidential pick. While the attention seems to be firmly on Biden’s mental acuity following a lackluster debate performance, Trump appears to be biding his time before making any official announcements.
In a recent episode of his podcast “Triggered,” Donald Trump Jr. expressed his preference for J.D. Vance as his father’s running mate. He also shared his thoughts on other potential contenders, offering insights on their strengths and weaknesses. From dismissing Dr. Ben Carson’s niceness as a barrier to dealing with “sociopaths” to praising Gov. Doug Burgum’s business acumen, Don Jr. didn’t hold back in his assessments.
The upcoming rally in Miami, where former President Trump will be joined by Sen. Marco Rubio, is sure to fuel further speculation about the VP selection. Don Jr.’s comments, while not revealing any insider information, shed light on his personal preferences for the role.
